TO THE Right Honourable THOMAS Lord FAIRFAX . MY LORD ,

IT is with Your Lordship's leave , that this short Manuscript of my Lord Fairfax , Your Noble Predecessor , is now Printed from the Original , written in his own Hand , and left in Your Study at Denton in Yorkshire ; for it was never intended by him , to be Published , but to remain for the Satisfaction of his own Relations .

But of late something has hapned , which in the judgment of Your Lordship , and many other Persons of Condition , makes it necessary that these Papers should be sent to the Press ; which is now done , without any Material Alterations from the Original , but only by placing them in the natural order of Time.

Tho' no Copy was ever taken by Your Lordship's Consent , yet I know not how , some imperfect Ones are got into other Hands . And this being an Age , wherein every Man presumes to Print what he pleases , of his own , or other Mens , we are plainly told , That my Lord Fairfax's Memorials are ready to be Published ; and by the very same Person , who has lately set forth some Memoirs , wherein his Lordship is scarce ever nam'd but with Reproach ; not to be excused by what the Editor himself confesses , That the Author was much out of humour when he writ the Book .

My Lord Fairfax's True Character is better known to many Wise and Good Men , than to be blemished by such envious Detractions . Nor can his Reputation thereby suffer with any who were acquainted with his Person , and the true Intentions of his Actions , and knew him in the latter part of his Life .
